More cruise ships than ever before are sailing the Alaskan waters. A Vancouver to Alaska cruise is one of the most desirable cruises on any cruise lovers list. These cruises usually cost more than most other cruises such as the Caribbean, etc. The cruise season runs from April through to September. Demand is very high for Vancouver to Alaska glacier tours.

Port Vancouver's premier cruise ship facility is located in the city centre near excellent hotels, shopping, dining and entertainment, and two and a half hours from Whistler or Whistler Village. Its distinctive white sail design, five-star hotel, and the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre make Canada Place an attractive start and finish to any cruiseship tour.
